7 years ago I wrote about a script I was using to generate changelogs for Marked. Since then I’ve continued updating the script to work with just about all of my projects, from Xcode projects to Ruby gems to scripts that just have a VERSION file in the same directory. It can output a few…

As many of these updates seem to, this one started with a bug report from my friend Jay Miller, which caused me to run the test suite on SearchLink and discover a few things had broken since I last looked at it. So you get an update. Aside from fixing bugs that had cropped up,…

Ok, so you may or may not have heard of my Howzit project, so I’ll begin by recapping. “Howzit” is a contraction of “how does it” that allows you to query any project with commands like howzit build or howzit deploy and get documentation, as well as automatically execute the necessary steps for a task.…

I published a script yesterday for creating a “bundle file” of all binaries (executables) on your system that rely on Rubygems to install. These aren’t covered by Homebrew’s bundle command and I wanted easy system restore via my dotfiles setup. But… because it deals specifically with gems, I figured why not make it a gem…

I’ve always liked Homebrew’s bundle command. You can save a snapshot of everything you’ve installed with Homebrew, and then reinstall the snapshot on a new system. I also like Ruby’s Bundler, which lets you save all of the gems needed by an application and then install them easily with bundle install. However, I don’t like…

There’s a new version of Marked 2 out (available on all channels) that adds some important fixes and a couple of new features. Streaming Preview First off, I fixed the Streaming Preview for everybody. Every time I fixed it to work with The Archive, I broke it for Drafts, and so on. I’m certain I’ve…

I received a request a while back, shortly after my post about Marked 2 and Obsidian, asking me to support Obsidian callouts. I don’t remember who made the request, but it got lodged in the back of my head. I had an hour today to knock out a solution. Rather than trying to incorporate this…

I know it’s been less than a week since v1, but I made some major changes to md-lipsum that warrant a version 2. Basically, I incorporated all of the API options from Loripsum.net, meaning you can now specify how many paragraphs and what elements are included. You can still get a full Markdown document with…

When I first tried it out, Text Blaze didn’t make it easy to publicly share folders of snippets. They’ve solved that, apparently, so now you can make folders publicly available from the Mac app. So I present… Apparently folder sharing is still an “MVP” feature, so I can share with you, but… Lipsum, a collection…

I built a new little API for you. It generates Markdown Lorem Ipsum. First, a little background. Why? As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I’ve been playing with Text Blaze, a cool new app that might eventually replace TextExpander for me. One of the major things missing from Text Blaze, though, is script snippets, which I make…
